pynvim VS nvim-dap

In a python remote plugin using pynvim, you could write something like this.

I can't fully recommend one example posted in #520 (because it has some practices that are not quite recommendable IMHO) but you may want to take a look at it.

To my knowledge no, but looks this is a common problem on Windows. Please file an issue on https://github.com/neovim/pynvim/ (a reproduction step would be greatly appreciated) so we can track it.

That should be it https://github.com/neovim/pynvim

You managed to pick two languages I don't use, but I believe it would more than meet your criteria. Neovim has excellent LSP support, and there are several for C/C++/CMake and for Python. See the list here. There's intellisense like completion via coc. For debugging there's also nvim-dap. With something like pynvim you could even write plugins for neovim itself in python. (I've written some in lua myself because of its native lua interface, which is a nice alternative to vimscript.)

pynvim doc is not very good IMO I will gladly use nvim --remote now that the feature is available if I ever need something from python!

As a sidenote, I didn't see another option besides making it as a python remote plugin, since I really needed to use Python's jupyterclient library (basically the Jupyter protocol is pretty complicated, and jupyter-client is its official implementation). And that sucks, because pynvim is badly documented and has a few really weird bugs (e.g. https://github.com/neovim/pynvim/issues/386), which I then had to work around.

Maybe this or this

I'm trying to use pynvim to write tests for a plugin (since I'm a big fan of pytest). However I cannot seem to configure the nvim session through a lua file. I've created an issue but thought I would also post here to see if someone knows what's going on since I haven't had a reply in a few days.

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.
